Kitaro will be performing in Malaysia at Arena of Stars, Genting Highlands for two consecutive nights! Free your date on November 30 or December 1, as this supreme intrumentalist is coming to town!

Kitaro whose real name is Masanori Takahashi, is a very popular composer and multi-instrumentalist from Japan. He never had any formal education in music. During his teenage years, he learnt to play the electric guitar by himself. Inspired by American R&B, he formed ‘The Far East Family Band’ and released two progressive rock albums. Later, during a tour to Europe in 1972, he was introduced to synthesis music and was fascinated by it. He then bought his first synthesizer and began experimenting with a rainbow of unconventional sounds.

His unique fusion of electronic artistry, traditional Japanese forms, and pop-inflected Western idioms created a rich, harmonic, and poetic sound that won the legendary artist a huge international following. Kitaro has won a Golden Globe Award for Outstanding Soundtrack on the movie ‘Heaven and Earth’, and a Grammy Award for ‘Thinking of You’.

Tickets are priced at MYR 260, MYR 190, MYR 140, MYR 95 & MYR 60 for Friday show and MYR 300, MYR 220, MYR 160, MYR 110 & MYR 70 for Saturday performance. For more information, call Axcess Tickets at: 603-7711 5000 or visit www.genting.com.my.
